The custom_answer_script is basically written in sh (script). Mine allows you to press a number based on who you want to leave a message for. And also allows you to press a button to stop the answerphone script, if it answers at the same time as you picking up the phone! The only thing I haven't worked out is how to stop the script if the caller hangs up... I end up with a short recording of the busy signal...

To Be Continued....

+Although I have not installed anything yet, I wanted to add a post pointing others in the same direction I am moving in. I am attempting to find a telephone solution similar to Ovolabs Phlink http://www.ovolab.com/phlink/. Phlink is a very friendly, scriptable, telephone answering system. Unfortunently Phlink is Mac OS X only. However http://www.vocpsystem.com/ appears very similar, and will run on just about any *nix. I like the wiki, greetings from Tacoma, Washington and http://taclug.org.
